On Solana DEXs, meme coin volume has slipped below 15%, while sector dominance in altcoin markets has dropped from 0.109 in November 2024 to 0.034, alongside market value declines of more than 65% for major tokens. Other analysts attribute the downturn to oversaturation, pump-and-dump activity, and eroding investor trust, even as proponents insist that tokenized attention will persist in a more selective form.

Cybersecurity researchers from Socket's Threat Research Team identified the malicious behavior, which remains concealed from users during transaction confirmation.
